Published on: July 31, 2009

Cruise West announced that Linda Androlia of Sunstone Tours and Cruises was its top-producing agent for 2008. This is the third consecutive year that Androlia has earned the top spot. Androlia, an at-home agent who has been in the travel business since 1989, attributes her success to a sales strategy that is targeted towards luxury adventure cruisers. “2008 was a great year. Despite the current economic challenges, 2009 sales are strong, especially for Cruise West,” she said. “My clients view cruising as an investment in memories and Cruise West provides the best value for their vacation dollar. Cruise West’s ‘up-close, casual and personal’ style provides the ideal environment to experience the world and create memories of a lifetime.”

Jayme Porkolab, director of global sales at Cruise West, cites Androlia as a role model for all travel agents. “Linda had developed sound business practices that have benefited her business and made her a strong Cruise West partner. She actively participates in all of our agent-training programs to ensure that she has the latest information on our products,” Porkolab said. “In addition, she works closely with our sales team to align her marketing initiatives to Cruise West’s. Linda is more than a travel agent, she is an advocate for Cruise West and her customers.” For more information, call 800-689-1783 or visit www.cruisewestagents.com.
